Rural postal service

The Rural postal service helps people who live in rural areas and have difficulty collecting their mail themselves

If you are elderly or have a disability and it is a long way to your mailbox, it may sometimes be difficult or even impossible to collect your mail yourself. In such cases, the Rural postal service can help you.

This service ensures that your letters and parcels are delivered to the mailbox on your property. If you cannot get to the mailbox on your property, the mail is delivered to your door. The service is available for people living in rural areas that are served by rural mail carrier routes, and are aged over 80 or have some type of disability that makes it difficult for them to get to a regular mailbox or partner outlet.
